S

everal years ago, my 5-year-old granddaughter and my youngest son had an interesting exchange.

They were standing by our flower garden when my granddaughter told my son that she saw a bee.

My son said he also saw the bee and told her it was a bumblebee. She immediately asked, “How do you know?” He replied, “Because it is yellow and black.”

She responded, “How do you know that?” He stated, “Because I saw it.” He also knew it was a bumblebee because he is very knowledgeable about insects and loves to do research. Obviously, my granddaughter didn’t trust that my son knew what he was talking about!

In today’s world, many are asking the same question: “How do you know that?”

There are so many conflicting sources of information available that people are confused and don’t know what or who to believe. This dilemma applies not only to the current health pandemic but also to decisions that are made at almost every level of government. Trust seems to be at an all-time low and is contributing to the divide in our country. I can’t help but recall the comments of President Reagan: “Trust but verify!” It all starts with trust, and then we have a personal responsibility to determine the truth. Those who participated in our municipal election evidenced a degree of trust when they cast their vote for certain individuals. To verify that trust, it is important for you to be involved in the decisions that are being made by the city council. The best way to do this is to attend city council meetings, and I invite you to do so.

We are definitely living in interesting times. We are experiencing many of the same things previous generations experienced. We have seen incredible technological advancements, economic successes, a roller coaster stock market, pandemics, economic turmoil, and both low and high unemployment rates. The question one might ask is what will be our legacy?

My parents were both born in 1923. They are part of what has been labeled the Greatest Generation. Many of this generation served in World War II and the Korean War. Many in this generation experienced the stock market crash of 1929 and high unemployment rates. Additionally, they experienced the flu pandemic of 1918. They also experienced technological advancements such as the radio and telephone. So, why are they remembered as the Greatest Generation? Because they knew how to withstand hardships, and they built a better world because of it. Characteristics of this generation included personal responsibility, humility, integrity, commitment, TRUST, and self-sacrifice. Many of these same attributes exist in our citizens today. What may be less prevalent is trust. I believe there is room for improvement in this area.

I encourage each of us to increase our level of trust in each other and take personal responsibility for verifying what’s true. You never know when you might have to explain how you knew it was a bumblebee.

CITY COUNCIL UPDATE

Brandon Bell

•

The Council held a work session to discuss possible changes to the Village at Prominence Point. The Council approved the moving of one of the apartment buildings but did not approve the increased size of the Independent Living Facility building.

•

The Council heard a presentation on “approval voting,” which is a system where voters are allowed to select as many candidates as they would like, so that people are not limited to a “vote for one” candidate scenario.

The Council is not making any decisions on the voting method at this time, but was just seeking to learn more.

•

The Council approved a code change for accessory dwelling units to allow for existing homes to be converted into ADUs with the construction of a new home.

•

The Council approved two RAMP grant applications for the trailhead at 2750 North and Mountain Road and the lights and sound equipment at the Barker Park Amphitheater

•

The Council also declared some property as surplus for the possible future location of a cell tower east of Mountain Road and south of the Equestrian Park.

•

The Council selected Phil Swanson as the Mayor Pro Tempore – which is the person who acts on behalf of the Mayor when he’s out of town.

Brandon joined our planning department in 2015 and, since then, has been reviewing subdivision applications, site plans for new or expanded businesses, and building permits to ensure they meet the ordinances of the city, which are our local laws. Brandon works on updating documents such as the zoning map and feels good about the work he’s done in updating this over the last couple of years. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work to be done to keep it updated and doing so is right up Brandon’s alley! Brandon often presents land use issues to the planning commission and city council and likes hearing different points of view during these meetings; he enjoys trying to find solutions that work for all. If you have a question about your property rights, what you can do with your property, or how our city can help get your property properly permitted, Brandon is the person to call!

Scott Hess, Brandon’s supervisor, says, “Brandon is a vital member of the planning department, with a deep knowledge in both short-range and long-range planning. He exemplifies the kind of quality employees the city has been able to find and retain.”

One of Brandon’s highest aspirations as a planner is to write city ordinances that seek to secure and respect the rights of all affected parties. He loves trying to find a way to look out for everybody at the same time, so that someone’s rights don’t get overlooked.

When Brandon isn’t reviewing applications or ordinances, he’s spending time with his wife and three kids. He appreciates “getting to know” each of them and their individual personalities and helping them develop their unique talents and interests.

He has taken up beekeeping with one of his daughters and has learned a lot about bees and nature through this process. He also appreciates archery as a hobby and enjoys the focus and concentration it requires to improve.

Brandon’s favorite part about North Ogden City is the residents.

He has a deep love for our Republic, and he enjoys assisting people in exercising their rights at the city level. The views of the mountains are “absolutely spectacular” and it’s a great natural environment to be surrounded by and work in.

Thank you for your continued service to our city! We appreciate you!

The Cherry on Top: Lindee Besst

BY HAILEY MINTON

Of all the events happening in the city, we’ve noticed that Besst Realty Group sponsors a lot of them. This last December, they sponsored Santa’s Village with a live nativity and a mailbox that sent letters directly to Santa. Kids even got responses back.

Besst also provided free hot chocolate to all visitors in cooperation with Northern Ice. They regularly support Weber High Sports.

“Giving to others or sponsoring an event is so much more than having Besst Realty Group recognized on a flyer or on a sign,” said Lindee. “Giving brings me joy and happiness. I am thankful every single day that I am able to give back and help others. I can honestly say that the secret to a happy life is charity. When you give to others, life becomes so much better and meaningful.” Lindee loves calling North Ogden her home. “I love the people, the schools, the businesses and the sense of community we have here. North Ogden is definitely one of Utah’s best kept secrets.”

“I love the people, the schools, the businesses and the sense of community we have here.

ARTIST BIO

Jaycee Gray

BY HAILEY MINTON

As an artist, Jaycee Gray creates movement on stages and canvas.

The two seemingly different art forms have influenced each other in unexpected ways throughout Jaycee’s life. Jaycee’s mom is a dance teacher so, naturally, Jaycee has been involved in it since she was three. Since then, she has taught at studios and performed with most organizations in the area that involve dance in any way shape or form. She

earned two degrees from Weber State University: one in dance and one in art.

Her dance professor reached out to her one summer to let her know of an opportunity to work at Lagoon. She was the acrobat for the Big Top show in 2019 and has danced with Hackenslash for the last four seasons. After one performance, she met a man who encouraged her to try out as a dancer for Mama Mia at the Zigfield. He later learned she specializes in painting portraits as well, which led to a commissioned opportunity to paint portraits for the Haunted Mansion in Paris and Hong Kong. Hers is a painting that changes depending on your perspective (right). From one angle, it’s a lady holding a platter with a red velvet cake; from the other perspective, the platter is holding a severed head.

25th street, but the pandemic closed shop for the business in 2020. Jaycee bought easels from them as they were closing so she could offer her own classes in people’s homes or other venues. Her biggest inspiration in her art has been her older brother, Greg, who passed away about 10 years ago.

“He died trying to save me in a fishing accident.” Greg led his siblings in being a great artist himself. He was the first to enter the Federal Junior Duck Stamp art contest and win best of state for Utah. Jaycee and her brother, Brad, also won best of state for the contest in different years.

While she was studying art at Weber, she taught paint classes at Liquid Canvas on

To see more of her art, follow her on instagram @jaygrayartistry

Jaycee loves portraiture. This includes anything from portraits of people who have passed to religious portraits of Jesus.

Students of the Month Congratulations to our hardworking students who are recognized by teachers and faculty at their schools. Great job!

Ricky Matheson

Elizabeth Parker

Weber High School

Orion Jr. High School

Ricky has a 3.96 GPA, takes advanced science and math classes, and is very involved in Orchestra and Jazz band. He wants to be a professional musician and was selected to participate in the 2022 Utah All-State Orchestra and the 2022 Utah AllState Jazz Band. Ricky’s band teacher, Joe Windsor, said that, to his knowledge, Ricky is one of the first Weber High students selected to participate in the Utah State Jazz band in over 20 years. Ricky will also be performing his trumpet at the UMEA Conference in St. George and possibly at the BYU Jazz Festival. Ricky is a wonderful example of a wellrounded Warrior!

Elizabeth Parker is a 9th grade student at Orion Junior High. She is an excellent student with a 3.94 GPA. She is taking every Honors class available and works really hard to make sure her grades are exceptional and her work is done well.

She is a part of the Spanish Immersion program, the Accelerated Math program, and is a PTSA Student Representative. She is caring and kind and always has a smile on her face. She enjoys reading, baking, hanging out with family, and playing games. Her favorite class is English because she loves her teacher Mrs. Jackson and because she wants to be an author one day and write Fantasy and Romance novels. She would love to attend any of the BYU schools, and with the wonderful things she has done and is yet to accomplish, we know she will be a means for great good in the world. Congratulations Elizabeth!!

Ashton Blue Maria Montessori Academy Ashton is an amazing student, who tries diligently in class every single day. He strives to complete tasks on time and to the best of his abilities. He’s not afraid to ask for help, to be wrong, and to learn from his missteps. In this way, Ashton is a model student to his peers and teachers. If he finishes work early, Ashton makes a point to help others who are struggling to understand a concept. He is kind and gracious in the way he communicates with his peers and treats everyone with respect and care. Ashton continues to strive for higher understanding by consistently asking critical thinking questions, bringing up valid points during class discussions, and finding abstract ways of viewing materials. Ashton has always demonstrated integrity, good sportsmanship, and trust. He has been forthcoming in his mistakes and behavior, always taking ownership of his work and himself.

Isaac Platt North Ogden Junior High -Isaac is truly ONE AMAZING student! He’s the kind of student teachers wish they had a classroom full of. He is a hard worker– one of the hardest. Isaac is always on task, pays attention in class, and is such a joy to be around. He has a positive attitude and a friendly personality. Most of all, Isaac has integrity, is honest, and is not afraid of working hard. He has so many qualities that will give him success throughout his life. Isaac’s ability to work with others is impressive. It is fun watching him learn; he is someone who LOVES to learn.

Isaac is a natural-born leader who is going to go far in life.

Thank you for all you do in class and outside of class!

Best of State in North Ogden:

Music Champions Among the Hales Family

T

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

To accommodate all the instruments, the Hales Family have two music rooms. Some of the older instruments are hung up and displayed as wall art.

Hales Family Music is North Ogden’s own local band that is undoubtedly the “Best in State.” However, they also have national awards to boot. We have the scoop on how the family came to win so many musical competitions.

First, the band would not be where it is today without their matriarch, Grandma Linda Child. She started what we now know to be the Utah Old Time Fiddlers.

Linda and Jim Shupe were founders of their Pioneer Chapter in the Ogden area.Today, it’s a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion, perpetuation, and enjoyment of Old Time music. “Our purpose is to encourage musicians of all ages and to provide them with opportunities to improve their skills by performing in public,” their website reads. “If you live in Utah and enjoy the music of the fiddle tradition, then this is the place for you.”

Now, it is a group of people in the area

16

who get together about twice a month to rehearse and twice a month to perform.

In Linda’s time, she played the violin and raised her daughter, Cindy, to do the same. Cindy teaches from the fiddle books and CDs Linda made as teaching resources. Her family even produced a CD together. Her dad played the harmonica, and some of her siblings played the fiddle, guitar, and bass. Her mother’s teaching would help her win many state fiddle contests. She would go on to learn to play the banjo, guitar, mandolin, piano, and organ. In fact, she played on her grandmother’s pump organ, which was brought across the plains via train by her pioneer ancestors.

The Old Time Fiddlers aren’t the types of performers to play their piece and leave, either. Often, they stick around events to brighten the lives of their audience beyond a song, with a smile and conversation. While Linda has passed, other founding members have been

northogdenconnection.com | February 2022

known to play with the group into their nineties.

Amidst all the Old Time Fiddlers’ jam sessions, Cindy met Brent Hales. He and his family played alongside the fiddlers and were some of the original members.

In addition to the violin, Brent plays the piano, tuba, and bass. Brent came from a musical family, and his parents D. Brent and Elaine worked hard to create their own family band called the Hales Family Fiddlers. His family had likewise produced a CD together, and they have been performing at events for over 40 years. All of Brent’s siblings play many instruments such as fiddle, guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin, piano, and are still performing today. Brent and Cindy were excellent matches. But, since they were both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they decided to serve missions before pursuing a romance together. Cindy was a missionary in San Bernardino, and Brent

served in Paraguay. Before her mission, Cindy got a full-ride music scholarship to Weber State University and studied child and family studies. Brent studied accounting. However, they both agreed their children would study music.

The Hales family not only taught their family fiddling music, but also taught them the classical Suzuki Violin Method.

Shinichi Suzuki was a violinist-educatorphilosopher-humanitarian born in 1898.

He studied the violin in his home country of Japan for some years. Then, he went to Germany in the 1920s for further study.

After the end of World War II, Dr. Suzuki devoted his life to the development of his method. Brent and Cindy’s parental involvement was a huge part of their children’s learning. According to the method, just like when a child learns to talk, parents are to be involved in the musical learning of their child. Cindy served as “home teacher” during the week. Since she was musically talented, she understood what her children were expected to do.

Stephen is the youngest of the five

children. While they all play the violin and piano, they also explore new instruments on their own. In addition, Stephen plays the banjo, guitar, mandolin, dobro, saxophone, and trumpet. His brass specialty comes from the legacy of his Great-grandma Child, who also played the trumpet. The family still has her trumpet in their possession, although it is too old to play. Stephen is

also the percussionist in the family and has his own drum set. He’s a member of the Northern Utah Youth Symphony now, along with the Chamber Choir in high school, which all his brothers and sister were also in. He plays in the jazz band at school, and he is a state champion junior banjo winner.

Performing has brought this family closer together as they serve other people through music.

Jocinda is the Hales’ only daughter.

Her additional instruments include the flute and mandolin. In fact, she’s a state junior mandolin champion. She’s a triple treat in her family, having pursued theatre acting and singing. In junior high school, she played Mrs. Pots in the Beauty and the Beast musical. As a result of her performances and lessons, she’s recorded her own singing album. Some say she sings like her Great-grandma Jo, who had a beautiful voice. Today, she’s in Puerto Rico, serving as a missionary, and she took her violin with her. When she returns, she wants to study to be a teacher. This will be an easy task since she received a violin music scholarship from Weber State.

Brent (Dad): Violin, piano, tuba and bass Cindy (Mom): Violin, teaches music

Richard is the middle child. He plays

fiddle, piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro, trumpet, and trombone. A dobro is a sort of acoustic guitar that lays flat on the lap. However, instead of a sound hole, it has a metal resonator built into its body. This resonator serves as an amplifier. It’s the typical instrument heard in bluegrass music. Josh Graves of Flatt & Scruggs introduced it in the 1950s, and now, Richard records bluegrass albums with his family on it.

He has also recorded banjo and guitar on his family’s albums. In his free time, he fixes up antique cars, a hobby shared with his younger brother, Stephen, and his older brother, Jon. Richard has mastered flat and finger picking on his grandma’s guitar as well.

He has recorded his own CD on the mandolin, guitar, and banjo. He brought his guitar on his mission that began in the Dominican Republic and finished in Missouri on account of the pandemic. He made spiritual guitar songs and videos on his mission too. In the state competition, he won first place in banjo and guitar and second place in mandolin. The only time his eldest brother, Brent Ray, won state in banjo was the year that Richard was off on his mission. Most recently, both Richard and Brent performed the Star Spangled Banner on the guitar and violin, respectively, during the Ogden Raptors game commemorating the twentieth anniversary of September 11th.

All Hales children have received full-ride violin scholarships at Weber State University, just like their mother did.

Jon is the second oldest child, and he

plays the banjo and guitar as well, plus the bagpipes. He went on a mission to Mexico and played some violin on his mission too. He has also played bagpipes in several places, including Fort Buenaventura, Parades, Memorials, for funerals, etc. He also played saxophone in the marching band, carrying on the Hales family tradition of ancestors who played in the Nauvoo brass band.

As the oldest child, Brent Ray has blazed the trail for his siblings. He won 1st place in state on the fiddle for the first time at eight years old. Then, he went on to win first place in the State of Utah five times. They always did The Northern Utah Symphony, who he played with for six years. When he was about 12 years old, he started branching out to 18

the banjo, guitar, and mandolin with his mother’s guidance. Yet again, he played on his Grandma Linda’s violin. When he graduated from high school, his mom gave him a guitar as a gift. Richard got a mandolin when he graduated. He took his violin with him on his mission to Guatemala, where they loved to hear American fiddling. His fiddling was even featured on TV, when he and Richard won the National Talent contest for Future Farmers of America in Indianapolis, Indiana. Today, he teaches music, just like his mother has done for over 40 years. They have also received full-ride violin scholarships at Weber State University, just like their mother did. All the kids have played in the bands at school, and trumpet was Brent Ray’s choice. The kids have won many school talent first-place awards fiddling, doing banjo, and playing bagpipes. They are all Eagle Scouts and have participated in ballroom and Celtic dancing teams in Northern Utah.

Many Hales family members have performed and danced American Folk music in many countries, which include the following: Greece, Austria, Switzerland, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Mexico, representing the U.S.A while playing for cloggers and dancers. They’ve performed fiddle, Celtic, bluegrass, swing, blues, folk, tango, Cajun, Spanish, Broadway, religious, and more styles of songs. Locally, we’ve been lucky enough to see them perform at North Ogden Cherry Days, the Weber County Fair, the Pleasant View Salmon Bake, the Virginia Reel dance, and the Grantsville Honey Festival. However, they also perform for family events, dances, weddings, churches, and nursing homes, following the legacy of their family’s traditions.

They have recorded seven CDs of different themes of their family’s music.

Some are titled Celtic, Variety, Fiddling, Blues, and so on. Brent Ray and Richard have both written some of their own songs. If you don’t want to leave your home to hear them, you can find them on Instagram and Facebook at Hales Family Music or follow their YouTube channel under the Brent Hales Channel/Hales Family Music.

The Hales Family has enjoyed playing music for many people and in many places. Performing has brought this family closer together as they serve other people through music. In turn, it has brought many people joy to hear them.

Possibly the First Recorded Marriage in North Ogden

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

A

mong the earliest recorded weddings in North Ogden was that of Celestia Bailey and William Ward on January 7, 1891.

We know this, thanks to a newspaper printed on January 13th that year. However, the historic nature of the event was overshadowed by the couple’s names being misspelled in print.

all who knew her as a perfect type of pure and noble womanhood.

She was born in North Ogden, January 18, 1872, and was baptized May 6th, by John Brown and confirmed

by Richard Jones, Sr. She identified herself with the different societies and organizations of the ward and formed friendships thus beyond the powers of time or eternity to sever.

She was doing her own work and assisting in house cleaning the day before her summons came, and it is thought that in a reaching attitude hurt herself, which started internal hemorrhage, the immediate cause of her death. She will be greatly missed by the community and especially by her husband and loving little children.”

“The weather in this beautiful little settlement William and Celestia were married has been very fine for the past few days and the January 7, 1891 for 13 years after the health of the citizens is good,” the article reads. sudden death of Celestia in 1904.

According to her eldest daughter “Last Friday a quiet wedding took place where William died three years later.

Florence’s autobiography, it was the bride being Miss Cilesta (sic) Bailey, daughter speculated that her injury was caused of W. Bailey, and the bridegroom, William Wards by a complication following a miscarriage. Her funeral services (sic), son of bishop’s councilor (sic), James Wards.

The family liked to spend their Sunday afternoon riding through North Ogden Canyon in a horse and buggy to Liberty, visiting family. Namely, they saw other Baileys from their mother’s side.

Their happy marriage was short-lived. Their matriarch, Celestia, only lived to the age of 32. The Ogden Daily Standard recorded her unexpected death in their June 16, 1904 issue. This time, they corrected the record and spelled all names correctly.

“Our community was shocked yesterday by the sudden death of Mrs. Celestia Bailey Ward, daughter of William Bailey and Mary Montgomery Bailey, and beloved wife of William Ward,” the article read. “Mrs. Ward was a highly respected member of the community, an affectionate mother, and idolized by WE WANT AR TO HE FROM YOU!

always be ‘home,’” Florence wrote in her life story.

Only three years later, William died. As a result, Florence ran the household, and her Uncle Hyrum Bailey and her younger brothers took care of the farm and water well their father had started.

Then, a man named Parley Spackman took over the property. Florence married and raised her brothers with her husband Emil Chatelain.

They had three children: Florence, Ivan and Raymond (not pictured).

Letter from the Publisher An update on our printing process  IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME, you are

sick of hearing about COVID and its continued impact on our lives, but I hope you will indulge me on this letter. I want to explain why so many of our magazines have been late lately.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues right now that are impacting the magazine business. Paper shortages are very problematic due to the pandemic and economic factors.

Magazines used to be that paper orders were filled within a day or two; now, it is weeks or months before paper can be delivered to commercial printers to use for projects like our magazines, among many others. There are also times when, even though paper is ordered, it doesn’t show up on time, and, therefore, there is not enough paper to complete the job, so it just has to wait till the paper arrives. This has caused some printers to stockpile paper, making the supply even tighter.

Does this remind anyone of the great toilet paper shortage of 2020?

The second issue is that two large commercial printers closed their doors

recently; one in Salt Lake and the other in Las Vegas. This has put pressure on the existing printers, and, when you mix that with the workforce shortages everyone seems to be dealing with, it has made things very difficult to get the magazines published on time. What used to take 7 business days to print, staple, and trim before taking to the post office so they can deliver within 2 days, now takes 15 days to complete and 3-4 days to deliver. All around, things are more challenging than ever in our business as I am sure they are in your businesses.

We have moved our deadline up 2 times and still seem to struggle to get it to homes on time. The earlier the deadline, the more challenging it is to get relevant information for our calendar and other events. Advertisers also struggle to know what specials they might be running when we ask for their advertising too far in advance. When you mix that with the two holiday months we just got through, that made things even slower. You can see we have a perfect storm.

Our goal remains the same. We want to create connection within the community, connecting you to your city government and the events and stories that are part of living in this community. Thank you for being part of the magazine, and let us know if there is anything we can do to make things better.

Our goal remains the same. We want to create connection within the community.

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS AND THE PRICE OF A STICK HOUSE

Call for a

Growing up, I loved reading the tale of “The Three Little Pigs,” never thinking much of how the story – credited to James Halliwell-Phillipps in the late 1800s – could ever relate to my adult life. As an occupational hazard, I often think now of the second little pig: “How is he going to rebuild his house of sticks that the wolf blew down?”

In the real world, reconstructing a home after a loss does require a lot of “sticks,” or lumber, and ,recently, the price has risen to concerning levels.

RISING LUMBER PRICES

2020 saw a steep increase in the price of lumber, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The cost of construction materials has risen as much as 330% in the one-, five- and 10-year periods, depending on the commodity. It makes me wonder if that little pig would have had enough insurance coverage to rebuild his stick house.

This has been a surreal time for lumber costs, with COVID shutdowns, labor shortages, tariffs, renovation, and building demands all playing a part. People are home more often, looking at how they can make their dining room-turned-home office a more utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing place to spend 8 hours a day.

Reconstructing a home demolished by a total loss currently can take between 6 and 18 months, adding more uncertainty to the equation. More common partial losses are

also impacted by the rising lumber costs on a smaller scale, as they do not require as much lumber and are not as time-sensitive.

FUTURE MARKET

While this increase in lumber costs will likely carry into 2022, when reconstruction costs are expected to see another 7-8% increase, the costs are expected to peak and start leveling out. As more lumber mills reopen for use, supply will catch up with demand, and costs should begin to steady.

Until then, the little pig will have to rely on his insurance agent and insurance company to be certain he has enough coverage on his home. You never know when the big bad wolf will come back and blow his house down.

LIVING PROBATE

By Attorney Garrett T. Smith

In Memory

M

any people have heard of probate; however, far fewer have heard of living probate. Probate is required when someone passes away with a will (testate) or without a will (intestate). Probate can be avoided by using a properly funded trust. Living probate differs because it is required when a person is still alive but loses capacity prior to death. The process involves filing with the probate court to be appointed as a conservator (financial agent) or guardian (medical agent) of the incapacitated person. Financial powers of attorney and an advanced health care directive can keep you out of the living probate process and save various court costs and attorney fees.

For many people, there comes a time when they lose the capacity to make decisions prior to death. This can cause financial and emotional problems for the remaining family members. For example, some spouses may not have each other listed on all bank accounts. If the spouse listed on the account became incapacitated, the non-incapacitated spouse would not have access to those funds to keep the lights on or pay other bills. Some spouses keep separate bank accounts for various reasons and solve this potential issue by creating a financial power of attorney. This allows the person (while they are still of sound mind) to appoint another person to make financial decisions on their behalf in the case of incapacity.

Similarly, an advanced health care directive allows an individual (while they are still of sound mind) to appoint a health care agent to make health care decisions on their behalf in the case of incapacity. Health care documents provide a person with the ability to give directions with regard

to medical treatment, nursing homes, organ donation, life support, etc. Many people choose to avoid or postpone these uncomfortable conversations.

Having a plan in place and appointing a health care agent to make decisions can alleviate many financial and emotional burdens that would otherwise be placed on the shoulders of loved ones.

“Probate can be avoided by using a properly funded trust.”

I highly respect judges and their ability to gather information and make good judgments; however, they do not always have enough information to make the best decision. I had a client whose brother took advantage of their mother to the mother’s detriment. My client’s brother petitioned the court to be appointed the sole conservator and guardian of their incapacitated mother. My client initially agreed to the brother’s appointment as long as he agreed to follow the terms of a care agreement that would protect their mother and her estate. The brother breached nearly every term of the agreement, put the mother in a retirement home, and depleted the estate for his own benefit. Leaving decisions up to a judge can create problems for your heirs.

Please reach out if you have any questions about avoiding a living probate!

Military Spotlight: Saluting Our Service Members By the Major Brent Taylor Foundation and Jenny Goldsberry

Jeremiah Couts

Jeremiah Couts has been active duty in the Air Force for 16 years this year. He joined shortly after marrying his highschool sweetheart Erin. They both agreed enlisting was the best way to get out of their prospective small towns of Oakdell and Modesto California.

Tyler Adams

Tyler Adams spend eight years in the Army as a medic. His training included six additional months in Fort Sam in Houston after boot camp. He’d decided to serve after his experience as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Australia.

He was living there during 9/11, and saw hoards of cab drivers parked near the train station with their radios on. Whenever the death toll of the terrorist attack was updated, they all cheered and celebrated. Tyler decided to enlist to understand the conflict better.

As Jeremiah graduated from boot camp in Texas, Erin got the impression that God wanted her to get ready for what the rest of her life would become. He served then and serves now as a military cop in the Security Forces.

Then, after four months Jeremiah deployed to Iraq as the gunner on top of a convoy. A few months passed after he miraculously returned home safely, she found she was miraculously pregnant with triplets. All three have serious chronic disabilities. One son was born with one arm, while the other boy and girl have chronic autism.

As a result, Jeremiah was able to continue serving stateside. About two years ago the Couts moved to North Ogden. Their children are now 12 years old. Jeremiah recently finished a deployment to Jordan. While he was away several anonymous neighbors reached out with gifts and food for their family. The Couts want to thank their North Ogden neighbors for all they’ve done.

He met and married his wife Kelly at church in Colorado, where he was stationed at Fort Carson the entirety of his service. Then he deployed to Mosul, Iraq from 2007 to 2009.

There he met and worked alongside the late Brent Taylor. As Tyler was in the middle of a search and seizure, a car bomb exploded wounding him. He returned to southern Iraq afterwards, and retired from the service in North Ogden to find Brent Taylor as his mayor.

Dave Havel

Dave’s dad served 28 years in the Marine Corps which inspired him to enlist in the Air Force straight out of high school. He’s been serving for 21 years now and according to his wife Raychel, there’s no one else in the branch that loves his job more than Dave loves his as a weapons troop.

He met Raychel while based at Luke Air Force Base after nearly ten years of service.

Together they have two kids. They moved to the area in 2019 after starting and raising their family in Arizona. It was the peak snowstorm right before Thanksgiving, yet as soon as they pulled into the snowy driveway, their neighbor across the street got out to help unload their boxes.

Dave spent three deployments to Afghanistan and recently returned from one in Jordan among others. He was welcomed home with a police escort and dozens of American flags waving him in. They are set to move to South Dakota later this year. However, they have found it so welcoming that they’re considering retiring here among their neighbors who have shown them kindness these last two years.

Today he has two boys and works for Black Rifle Coffee Company. He’s happy to see the extent the community has gone to thank the troops, especially following the passing of Major Brent Taylor.

Eventually, the dough will get too thick to mix, so knead it with your hands. You won’t use all the flour, so knead until it’s a smooth, tough dough.

Place the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and salt in a food processor and pulse until pureed into a smooth paste.

Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the olive oil until evenly mixed.

Stir in the cheeses until mixture is completely blended.

Easy Alfredo Sauce

BY HAILEY MINTON

Roll out your dough, using the leftover flour to flour your rolling pin, but you still won’t use all of it. Roll it in every direction, folding it in half at least twice so that it’s as smooth as possible. It should be about two millimeters in thickness or less when you’re done.

Cut it into noodles. I like to make sure the two long ends are straight, but I leave the short end of the noodle alone, so that it keeps its homemade look. You’ll still have scraps that you can roll out again to make more noodles. Flip every noodle into the flour on each side so that they don’t stick to each other. Refrigerate the noodles for at least a half hour before boiling.

Boil the pasta like you normally would, for roughly five minutes in salted water.

Don’t strain the water out of the noodles!

Instead, take the noodles out of the water. It’s okay if you mix some pasta water with the sauce you use on your noodles: that makes it better! Save your pasta water for more sauces in the future or even to water your plants.

Buon apetitio! You have homemade pasta without the pasta maker!

½ cup butter 2 tsp. minced garlic 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream ½ tsp. parsley ¼ tsp. pepper ½ tsp. salt 2 cups parmesan cheese In a saucepan, melt butter. Once it starts to get bubbly, add in garlic and simmer for 30 seconds to a minute.

Stir in parsley, pepper, salt, and cream.

Simmer on low heat for 2 minutes, then add in the parmesan cheese. Stir until it is melted and starts to thicken up. This sauce is good served with chicken or shrimp over pasta or as a pizza sauce.

The Right Way to Sauce Pasta from seriousseats.com

No matter how great a sauce you can make, if you don’t sauce your pasta correctly, you’re missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Step 1: Heat Your Sauce Separately No cold sauce! Pasta should be tossed with sauce that is already hot and ready.

Step 2: Cook Your Pasta al Dente Add a little salt to the water and don’t add oil! Drain in colander, reserving about a cup of the pasta water.

Step 3: Transfer Cooked Pasta to Sauce Using tongs is easiest.

Step 4: Add Pasta Water Once the pasta is in the sauce, add pasta water. This is the most vital step in the process. Starchy pasta water doesn’t just help thin the sauce to the right consistency; it also helps it cling to the pasta better and emulsify with the fat and cheese you’re going to be adding.

Step 5: Add Fat With extra fat, you can get an emulsion that leaves the sauce creamy but still loose. A tablespoon of olive oil or butter is all you need.

Step 6: Cook Hard and Fast Simmering not only reduces liquid but thickens the sauce. The hotter your pan, the more vigorously the sauce will bubble and the better the emulsion you’ll form. Turn your heat on high and cook, stirring and tossing the pasta constantly (to ensure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom), adding more pasta water as necessary until it gets that perfectly saucy texture.

Step 7: Stir in Cheese and Herbs off Heat You can also adjust consistency and add more pasta water if needed.

Now, you have the perfectly and correctly sauced pasta!

Curling 101

A

BY AL DAWMAN

midst the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Olympic games, the Weber County Sports Complex is announcing a curling event happening this month and next. Now, you can commemorate this year’s winter games by playing one on your own.

When people think of the 2002 winter games, they are unaware that the event of curling took place right here at the Weber County Sports Complex. Additionally, the only place Olympic curling has taken place in the United States has been at the Weber County Sports Complex.

All Olympic curling events prior to this were strictly exhibition, and curling was only officially added to the medaled events in 1998. Even more interesting is that people are surprised to learn that Ogden has a social curling club that is carrying on this Olympic heritage. The Ogden Curling Club was created in 1998 in preparation of the 2002 games and is still operating under the same Olympic principles today.

Weber State University staff and University Advancement group, including Alumni Relations, Economic Development, and Marketing & Communications, recently participated in a staff curling event on (continued on page 32)

A game played on ice, especially in Scotland and Canada, in which large round flat stones are slid across the surface toward a mark. Members of a team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.

Curling features two teams of four

players sliding a large, granite stone on a rectangular sheet of ice. The goal is to deliver the stone from one side of the sheet to the circular scoring area on the other side, called the house. The closer to the center of the house, known as the button, the better.

Recycle Old Christmas Cards

Hang them up where your Christmas cards were or make a little garland!

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

Every December, you get fistfuls of Christmas cards. What can you do with them when the holiday is over and the tree is put away? If you want to see the faces of your friends and family long after the holiday season, this is the craft for you! With this method, you can display your cards through Valentine’s Day. Grab a heart-shaped cookie cutter or stencil. Make sure it’s large enough to fit all the faces on the card. In some cases, you might have to create your own heart-shape to fit everybody. The final product will look best if they’re all as similar as possible.

Now, trace the heart-shape on the card with a black or white pencil.

Focus on capturing faces, and you’ll likely leave out all the holiday decor on the card.

northogdenconnection.com | February 2022

Now, cut the heart-shaped pieces out of the card. Be prepared with a heavy-duty pair of scissors (some people send thick fancy cards). Erase any lines you have left on the heart.

You can take these hearts and decorate your house with them just like you would a Christmas card.

Some hang them up on the fridge, pin

them to a board, or hang them from a garland. My mom just realized that most rounded corners of her home are reinforced with metal rods, which make the corners magnetic. So, she can display the cards with a simple magnet.

See your loved one’s faces a little longer.

Weber CTC Youth Update Council

The Youth Council of Communities that Care met with the leaders of Utah at Jeremiah’s Lodge and Garden to speak about the issue of substance abuse in Weber schools. The youth talked with the policymakers about their experience in fighting and preventing substance abuse. Youth speakers spoke about the issues of vaping and substance abuse in their schools and community. The youth speakers also shared about their upcoming trip to CADCA in Washington D.C., where they will learn more skills to help their friends, family, and community. As a council member, I am grateful to have been able to spend time with these leaders.
